Why does the baby drool so much? This is an excellent question to which, unfortunately, there is not so much answer except that it is normal for a baby, quite simply.

A spot of baby saliva on a toy, on a sweater, on a scarf, a pillow on a stuffed animal, whatever the object or the garment, we present some tips for removing a stain of saliva. 

1. Remove a stain of fresh saliva

If the saliva stain has just occurred, it is easy to remove this stain with a little cold water and simply rub with a dry cloth.

You can also use a little clear soda for even more effective cleaning of drool on a sweater.

Finish by sending the garment to the washing machine with the next load of dirty laundry. It is not necessary to send it right away since you have already rubbed the stain with water and soda.

2. Drooling spots on baby clothes
